OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde has expressed concerns over the latest developments in Armenia.

“Concerned with the latest developments in Armenia. I urge all parties to act peacefully in respect of the OSCE commitments on democratic processes and the rule of law. The situation must be resolved without violence,” she tweeted.

Her remarks came after the Armenian army’s top brass demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his government in a statement on Thursday, sparking rival rallies for and against the premier in Yerevan.
